I was surprised that it was actually even better than the movie. The way Coraline gets out of ‘the other world’, the fact that her parents are missing, and the plot in general were things they should’ve added to the movie, in my opinion. But I did miss whyborn so I’ll give the movie that.

A perfect story with excellent story telling... and a surprising tear jerker! Nothing life changing, so not a 5 star book, but you'll be hard pressed think of a worthier book for such an excellent adaptation.

Very fascinating and a good story. Can't bump any Gaiman's writing to a 4 though. If he was dead, then I would say 4. Otherwise, it's going to remain as a crisp 3.75 because, you know, it's Neil Gaiman.
